Kansas’ Hidden Cash game threatened by scammers

Kansas’ Hidden Cash game threatened by scammers

What started as a fun community activity has reportedly been threatened by scammers.

A game called Hidden Cash Kansas provided residents with clues on where to find hidden cash around their cities. According to a report by Fox4 KC, a Twitter account, HiddenCashKS, provided the clues, but the woman behind the game, Kayla Lawson, said some are trying to take advantage of the game.

Lawson said fakes are creating their own accounts to fool people into donating money and gift cards that they just keep for themselves. It’s gotten more dangerous than that, however, according to Lawson one scammer told the winner of one Hidden Cash game to meet him in a secluded area to claim the prize.

“We don’t want somebody to get hurt – that’s the last thing we want,” Lawson said.
